Actual Strap Pictured - Works as Bag or Camera Strap

Crafted with Full-Grain Leather

Carry your bag or camera in style with a one of a kind, eye-catching strap! All of our embroidered straps are crafted with repurposed vintage belts (called fajas) and feature traditional intricate embroidery from the Maya weavers.

No two straps are the same! Hiptipico prides itself on uniqueness and authenticity. Every Hiptipico product is 100% handmade and has the human touch of the weaver and maker in each stitch. This makes our products uniquely charming and distinct from factory-made accessories. No two are exactly same and imperfections are to be expected and appreciated.

Community Impact:

Our embroidered straps are part of our Market Collection, which features textile treasures from Maya villages all around Guatemala, a country world famous for its intricate textiles and hand-embroidery. This collection is all about art appreciation and revival! When purchasing textiles for crafting our artisanal straps, we make it our priority to select only fajas that could no longer be worn to truly give them a second life.

Size: approx 42 inches long and 3 inches wide.
